Upgrades Discussion: Peashooter Upgrades!
This is the upgrade discussion post for Peashooter!
Unique Upgrades
Escape Roots (3 upgrade points): Whenever you vanquish an enemy, you move 20% faster for 3 seconds, allowing you to get away from a fight or to find another enemy. You can get this vanquish in any way and this can allow you to travel around more efficiently.
Last Ditch (3 upgrade points): Your last Pea in each of your clip sof ammo deals a massive amount of bonus damage (when you have 1 ammo left). It deals about 90 damage (instead of 34) on a successful direct hit. You can use this to your advantage, by using up your ammo until you have 1 left, then wait for an enemy to appear and hit them for a high amount of damage this way.
Homing Pea (4 upgrade points): Your Pea Cannon weapon gains homing capabilities, and your shots can home on enemies, if they are close enough to you. This makes it much easier to land direct hits and you will miss your shots less often, although even missing direct shots could still provide you with splash damage.
Party Time (5 upgrade points): When you have earned a vanquish streak, for 15 seconds, you gain a 20% damage boosts and 10% movement speed boost. This means you can defeat enemies more easily, and get around more easily during this time as well. Additional vanquished enemies during Party Time do not count towards another vanquish streak. You can only vanquish Heroes for this streak.
Unique Ability Upgrades
Chilli Bean Bomb
Pro Spitter (1 upgrade point): When you deploy your Bean Bomb, it travels 50% further, meaning you can hit enemies at further distances, but is more ineffective at closer ranges. Use this to surprise your enemies and to keep your distance from your enemies.
Bean Party (3 upgrade points): If you get a vanquish with your Bean Bomb, you get a 3 second cooldown reduction for your next use of Bean Bomb, meaning you can use it more often if you get vanquishes with it. Getting multiple vanquishes will yield even greater results and will further reduce your cooldown.
Pea Gatling
Reload Gatling (2 upgrade points): When you deal 5 critical hits in Pea Gatling, you will gain 25 ammo for your Pea Gatling. You can actually use this to gain potentially infinite ammo, meaning you can continuously shoot and deal high damage in this mode. You will want to aim for critical hits when you use this upgrade, or you will not benefit from this effect.
Explosive Gatling (3 upgrade points): Your enemies explode when you vanquish an enemy using your Pea Gatling, dealing a maximum of 40 damage to all nearby enemies, which means you can damage and possibly vanquish multiple enemies at once if grouped. This damage can be reduced if enemies are close to the blast, but are not close enough to be in the inner blast radius.
Pea Suped
Feed the Beast (3 upgrade points): When you earn a critical vanquish while Pea Suped is active, the refresh times of all your abilities are reduced by 12 seconds, meaning you can use your other abilities much more frequently. All direct hits that you inflict are critical hits with your primary weapon, so use this to your advantage.
Combat Adrenaline (4 upgrade points): When you successfully deal damage while Pea Suped is active, your Pea Suped duration gets extended. This means you can use Pea Suped for a really long time, or at least for a longer period of time. You gain 4.25 seconds of Pea Suped for every 4 successful hits you deal, and splash damage can be utilised as well.
Well, these are the upgrades covered for Peashooter! There are some nasty upgrades capable of drastically improving the damage and power of Peashooter, such as Last Ditch and Party Time if you can pull out the power of these upgrades. Lots of upgrades are suited to refreshing your abilities quickly or extending the duration of your abilities if used appropriately, improving your effectiveness in battles against your enemies. There will be times where even dealing splash damage can trigger your upgrades, which can prove to be greatly effective when you are fighting enemy groups.
